An alpha-herpesvirus has been associated recently with green turtle fibropapilloma (FP). To further clarify the role of this newfound green turtle herpesvirus (GTHV) in the pathogenesis of FP, various normal-appearing tissues and organs (including skin, eye, brain, heart, liver, spleen, intestine, lung, kidney, nerve, gonad, tongue, gall bladder, urinary bladder, thyroid and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from blood) and tumor tissues from 19 green turtles (Chelonia mydas) with FP, and tissues from three green turtles without FP, collected during 1997 to 1999 in the Hawaiian Islands, were tested for GTHV sequences by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR), using GTHV-specific oligonuclotide primers. GTHV sequences were detected in all tumors (51/51) and most tissues (133/167) of tumored turtles. By contrast, such sequences were undetectable in tissues (0/28) of three non-tumored turtles. Analysis of GTHV sequences detected in different tissues and tumors revealed a low degree of genetic diversity (<1%). The wide distribution of this newfound herpesvirus in tumors and tissues of tumored green turtles and its absence in tissues of non-tumored turtles, argues for an etiologic role in FP.

Characterisation of a recently isolated lyssavirus in frugivorous zoo bats.

In July 1997 a lyssavirus was isolated in Denmark from a colony of Egyptian flying foxes (Rousettus aegyptiacus) originating from a Dutch zoo. Sequencing of a 400 nucleotides coding region of the nucleoprotein and of a major part of the G-protein ectodomain encoding region of the newly isolated virus, revealed a very high similarity with European Bat Lyssavirus subtype 1a (EBL-1a). For characterisation of the recently isolated lyssavirus in frugivorous zoo bats, 16 frugivorous bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) of the same colony and 80 mice were experimentally infected with the Rousettus isolate or with a well defined EBL-1a strain isolated from a Dutch insectivorous bat (Eptesicus serotinus). Inoculation viruses were titrated in mice to determine LD50's of both isolates. Clinical signs of inoculated bats were recorded during 6 weeks. After showing neurological signs or at the end of the experimental infection all animals were euthanized. During the experimental infection sera and various tissues of inoculated bats were collected. Immunoassays, mouse inoculation tests (MIT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were employed for detection of lyssavirus specific antibodies, antigen or RNA. Five bats inoculated with the Rousettus isolate and 2 bats inoculated with the Eptesicus isolate showed neurological signs. The remaining 9 bats survived and cleared the virus; at least under the detection limit of the used assays. Despite a much higher pathogenicity of the Rousettus isolate observed in mice, LD25's in bats were quite the same for the 2 isolates. The pathogenicity of both isolates suggested that like many other mammals, Rousettus aegyptiacus bats could be victims of lyssavirus infection besides reservoir hosts of infectious EBL1a. There was no significant difference in detecting the different lyssavirus isolates in Rousettus aegyptiacus bats. An employed immunoperoxidase staining (IP) method was very useful for sensitive detection and localization of lyssavirus antigen in histologic preparates.

Molecular characterization of a novel siderophore-independent iron transport system in Yersinia.

Enteropathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica can be divided into mouse lethal (biogroup 1 B serotypes O:8, O:13, O:20 and O:21) and mouse non-lethal (biogroups 2-4 serotypes O:3, O:5,27, O:9) strains. Mouse-lethality is associated with the presence of the high-pathogenicity island encoding the TonB-dependent ferric-yersiniabactin uptake system. The present study reports on a TonB-independent and non-siderophore yersiniae ferric uptake system, yfu. Genetic and functional characterization of the yfu determinant revealed high relationship to the periplasmic-binding-protein-dependent Serratia marcescens ferric uptake system sfu. The yfu locus is common to all Yersinia species pathogenic for humans. Gene targeting of the yfu locus has demonstrated its importance for ferric iron acquisition in vitro. However, yfu is not required for mouse virulence of Y. enterocolitica serotype O:8.

Adhesion to and internalization into host cells is an essential step in the pathogenesis of various bacterial infections. Here we investigated the effects of growth factors on the internalization of Escherichia coli O18 strains isolated from patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) by human epithelial cells. A dramatic increase in the uptake of Escherichia coli was observed after treatment of epithelial cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and to a lower extent with insulin. EGF-dependent internalization can be suppressed by tyrosine kinase inhibitors suggesting an involvement of the receptor tyrosine kinases in the regulation of the endocytotic process. Inhibitors of phospholipase A2, lipoxygenase, and cyclooxygenase significantly decreased internalization of bacteria induced by EGF. Finally, the specific inhibitor of PI 3-kinases Wortmannin was shown to suppress completely the EGF-independent internalization. The data of this analysis indicate the involvement of several signaling paths in bacterial internalization of uropathogenic Escherichia coli O18 strains and contribute to the comprehension of the pathogenesis of recurrent UTI.

Influence of pathogenicity islands and the minor leuX-encoded tRNA5Leu on the proteome pattern of the uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain 536.

The uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain 536 (O6:K15:H31) carries four distinct DNA regions in its chromosome, termed pathogenicity islands (PAIs I536 to IV536). Each of these PAIs encodes at least one virulence factor. All four PAIs are associated with tRNA genes. PAI I536 and PAI II536 can be spontaneously deleted from the chromosome by homologous recombination between flanking direct repeats. The deletion of PAI II536 results in the truncation of the associated gene leuX encoding the tRNALeu. This tRNA influences the expression of various virulence traits. In order to get a deeper insight into the role of PAI I536/II536 and of the tRNA5LeU for the protein expression, the protein expression patterns of Escherichia coli 536 and different derivatives were studied. Differences in the protein expression patterns of the wild-type strain Escherichia coli 536, its mutants 536-21 (PAI I536-, PAI II536-, leuX-), 536delta102 (PAI I536+, PAI II536+, leuX-) as well as of the strain 536R3 (PAI I536-, PAI II536-, leuX+) were analyzed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. We identified about 39 different intracellular proteins whose expression is markedly altered in the different strain backgrounds. These differences can be linked either to the presence or absence of the PAI I536 and PAI II536 or to that of the tRNA gene leuX. The identities of 34 proteins have been determined by MALDI-TOF-MS. The identification of five proteins was not possible. The results suggest that proteome analysis is an efficient approach to study differences in global gene expression. The comparison of protein expression patterns of the uropathogenic E. coli strain 536 and different derivatives revealed that in this strain the expression of various proteins including those encoded by many housekeeping genes is affected by the presence of PAI I536 and Pai II536 or by that of the tRNA5Leu.

There are a number of approaches to hair loss problems.
Hair Million is an herbal alternative. It is a formula made of traditional, edible herbs
and has been anecdotally demonstrated the efficacy to ward off hair loss
problems.
There is no singular medical or alternative cure for hair loss since the
biology of hair growth is a highly complicated phenomenon.
It is unknown how Hair Million stops hair loss,
and promotes hair restoration.
The advantages of Hair Million over other approaches are, firstly, Hair Million is comparatively inexpensive,
and secondly, it is made only of traditionally used safe and healthy herbs that promote hair growth
according to Chinese pharmacopoeia. In addition, Hair Million is cardiotonic, meaning that Hair Million consists of herbs
that strengthens your heart, according to Chinese medicine. There is an interesting research paper which correlates baldness
to heart diseases: people with alopecia or hair loss
problems are significantly more likely to develop heart attacks.
